First Catch Of The Morning

Willy's the first one up and in the corral to make sure he get's the best pick of the assembled herd. By the look on his face he's already got his eye on a good one....at least he hopes so. He sure doesn't want another fleabag like he was stuck with yesterday.

Again, like the Farrier in the last post, the title and the setting tells as much of the story as the figure. His loop is at the ready, and the headstall and bit are hanging on the gate. That gate is made from some old cedar fencing whittled and doweled together. I used some twisted wire to keep the gate and gate posts square and added a hook and eye also made from wire. The hindges were made from metal roof flashing, blackened and nailed in place with some small brads. Some crushed model railroad foam gives a few weeds and grass at the base of the poles.
